I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my software engineering career. If I could go back, there’s a lot I’m going to change. Here’s my top advice for anyone building a career in software engineering: Thread 👇

I interviewed 5 billionaires this week I asked them to share their lessons learned on startups, life and entrepreneurship: Here's what they told me:

A lot of machine learning models aim to replace humans instead of helping them. That's a high bar, and in a lot of use cases, anything less than human-performance is a non-starter. One reason these models never make it into production.

🎉 Introducing... Datasets! We are now indexing 3000+ research datasets from machine learning. Find datasets by task and modality, compare usage over time, browse benchmarks, and much more! Explore the catalogue here: paperswithcode.com/datasets

On Faith - What I learnt from my son. One of the things I enjoy most is picking Lee from school. I love the 10 minutes conversation that ensues on our drive back home. I love it.

Early stopping is a powerful regularization technique. It basically prevents your model from wasting its time: if it ain't learning, it shouldn't keep running. That being said, don't jump on it right away. Sometimes, letting your model train for longer may surprise you.

There are a lot of moving pieces on a machine learning system. This is a thread covering the backbone of the process, from data engineering all the way to a retraining pipeline. Let's start. ↓

Python libraries for every day machine learning work: • Tensorflow • NumPy • Pandas • Matplotlib • Scikit-Learn • XGBoost • OpenCV • Pillow Non-machine learning specific libraries: • Requests • Flask • SQLAlchemy • PyTest • Black (credit: Santiago)

💥 Excited to announce... I wrote a book! A lot of engineering leaders worked to be best engineer they could be… and then we were promoted. It's tough to transition roles. I wrote the book I wish I had when I started leading teams. engmanagement.dev

Our team is all about that open-source learning 👋 We just released a new curriculum for those who want to learn IoT (no prior experience necessary). 📅 12 weeks 📚 24-lesson curriculum 👩‍🌾 Projects cover the journey of food from farm to table aka.ms/begin-iot

I get a lot of DMs / Questions about how to get into AWS and certifications so here is my advice Start with the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Certification to get an overview of how the AWS cloud & services work. If you like it, build upon that. Use these free resources🧵👇

I can never get over the fact that it was Nebuchadnezzar and not the boys in the fire that saw the fourth man Sometimes it doesn’t feel like God is with you while you’re going through it but trust me, He is!

Something I've learnt is sometimes all you need is exposure to what's possible, so you can aspire it. If you don't know there's a cloud 9, you'll stay comfortable in cloud 7.

You don't know how lucky you are if you've got friends who genuinely like some of the things you do, and like doing or talking about them with you. Sometimes I'm really enjoying something, and I try to picture enjoying it with someone else in my head, but the picture is blank.

Before you write a line of code for your startup idea write down… 1. The customer 2. Their problems 3. Current solutions 4. Your solution 5. Why now 6. Why you The last two are most important. Market timing and founder fit.

You know or might have heard of Tunde Onakoya (Tunde Onakoya) and the wonders, his project, Chess in Slums are doing. But how well do you know Tunde Onakoya? Tunde grew up in Eko Lagos, his father was a spare parts seller while his mother was a petty trader. (THREAD)

My husband took our kids to the playground the other day and when they got home, he told me about an experience with my 5 year old that made me marvel at the purity and innocence of kids. It also made me think about not giving up when you want something. There is always a way.
